I asked a market stall and he said he would have to take it away to be done which wasn't going to happen.

And alot of the websites that seem okay to unlock the phone after reading further reviews on have taken money and gave wrong codes.

What can anyone suggest?
thanks

I have used CarrierUnlock and they were great. Submitted the necessary info and got the code a few minutes later. There are also several other reliable companies that work through CrackBerry and I wouldn't hesitate to use one of them. A little research and you should be fine.
